She kind of expects tears, but none come. It might just be that it's finally happened - she's finally lost too much. She lasts at home for as long as she can, on her own in the dim light. She puts clothes away, reads a book, tries to work on a painting. She's got all of this nervous energy and nothing to do with it. She hasn't even got Cadi to fuss over - she's spending the night with her grandfathers. And there's just her.

In the end, she can't stand it anymore.

It's really too late to be doing it, but she hopes that he won't mind. She doesn't change, just pulls on a sweatshirt with her pajamas and heads for his front door.
She'll figure out what she's going to say when he opens the door.

Sam never expects anyone late at night on the island and while it's taken the better part of four months to get used to having a regular schedule without a crisis every day, he's used to it enough now that finding Charlie at the door's a shock.

"What's wrong? Something wrong with Cadi?"
